The first Global Waste Management Outlook (GWMO), published in 2015, provided a pioneering scientific global assessment of the state of waste management. It was also a call to action to the international community to recognise waste and resource management as a significant contributor to sustainable development and climate change mitigation.

The Global Waste Management Outlook 2024 echoes the first GWMO’s call to action to scale up efforts to prevent waste generation; to extend adequate safe and affordable MSW management to everyone worldwide; and to ensure that all unavoidable waste is managed safely.
